BLITZ Day = A Win for Everyone!
Last week, we rolled out our very first BLITZ Day, and it was all about meeting students where they’re at!
Students who were all caught up kicked off the morning with choices like gaga ball, lightning, and pin guard in the gym, relaxing with a movie, or games with friends in the cafeteria!
At the same time, this BLITZ day gave teachers dedicated time and space to work with students who needed extra support by reteaching, answering questions, and helping them get back on track with missing work.

Students in K. Thompson’s core who were off ICU and fully caught up earned a pretty epic reward 🎮✨

Congratulations to this week’s Golden Eagle Athlete of the Week, Kenadi Withers!
Kenadi had a phenomenal first weekend of the basketball season. She sparked the team’s offense in both games on Friday and Saturday and was relentless on the boards, grabbing a total of 16 rebounds over the weekend. On Saturday, she recorded a double-double in the game against Rapid City Stevens. Her effort and energy were noticeable, making her a key contributor to the team’s strong start to the season!
